What Happens When an Aries Man Gets Mad?

What happens when an Aries man gets mad? He’s usually quite aggressive and, if you’re arguing with him, he won’t back down. He’s one of the most stubborn people you’ll ever meet.

Aries men have a mean temper. They can explode suddenly and when that happens, they can be fierce and combative. They like to argue and they will often pick fights.

He usually knows that he has a bad temper. If he is angry with you and doesn’t want to say something he regrets, he’ll withdraw and ignore you until he’s calm.

Quick to Anger

Aries men are known for their quick tempers. Some are better at controlling it than others but they can go from 0 to 60 when they get angry.

If something upsets an Aries man, he’s more likely to become angry than sad. Anger is his “go-to” emotion when something bad happens or if someone does something to annoy him.

The intensity of his anger will depend on the situation. He doesn’t always explode over every single thing that irritates him.

If he’s already in a bad mood, though, even the most minor thing can set him off.

The nice thing about Aries is that, while he is quick to anger, he’s also quick to cool off. His anger isn’t usually sustainable for long periods of time.

If he gets angry with you, it’s best to just walk away and let him calm down. That doesn’t usually take too long.

Confrontational

Aries men are confrontational even when they aren’t in a bad mood. When he’s angry, an Aries man will pick fights and confront people over the smallest things.

If you come home from work and he tries to immediately start a fight with you, it doesn’t always mean he’s mad at you. Something at work might have upset him or he may be mad at somebody else.

Fighting is one way an Aries man lets off steam. He needs an outlet for his anger and sometimes that outlet is some unsuspecting person who he’s decided to argue with suddenly.

Ignoring an Aries man after an argument doesn’t always work. That sometimes just makes him angrier!

If you try walking away from an argument and he follows you to continue arguing, it’s because he’s in a confrontational mood. You might need to just let him argue it out for him to calm down.

Aggressive

An Aries man can be aggressive even at the best of times. He’ll be especially aggressive when he’s angry.

Some Aries men are more aggressive than others. Some Aries men can be very scary and intimidating when they’re angry.

This aggression is another way he channels his anger to let it out. This isn’t always the healthiest way to deal with his emotions, of course.

A good way for him to channel this aggression might be to use a punching bag or do something else to let the aggression out without hurting another person.

If you’re arguing with an Aries man and he starts to get overly aggressive, it’s a good idea to back off. You can try to talk things over later when he’s calmed down.

He’ll Sulk

An Aries man sulks after an argument sometimes. This is especially true if he knows he was wrong!

Not all Aries men lash out and get aggressive when they’re angry. Some are more lowkey about their anger.

If you two fought, he might go to his room and sulk for a while. He may vent to his friends or listen to angry music.

One of the reasons he sulks is because he’s embarrassed. He might feel bad about blowing up at you. He might know he was wrong and you were right. Aries men hate being wrong.

Aries men sometimes use anger to mask sadness as well. If he’s sulking, it’s likely because he’s not entirely angry about whatever happened. He may also be sad and hurt.

He Wants an Apology

The best thing to do when Aries man is mad at you is to apologize quickly. If it’s over a trivial matter, it’s usually better to just apologize first and talk things over later when he’s calmed down.

Apologizing to an Aries man is more about calming him down than anything else. Unless you’ve done something to completely betray his trust, he’s likely to forgive you as soon as he stops seeing red.

As mentioned, an Aries man’s anger is sometimes short-lived. If you two had a fight and he’s frustrated, a simple, “I’m sorry,” is sometimes all he needs to calm down.

You might not want to apologize. You may even feel like he’s the one who needs to apologize.

You may still need to apologize anyway to soothe his hurt feelings first. You can continue to talk about things and get your own apology later.

Fierce

Some Aries men become extremely hostile when angry. Their anger can be fierce and even violent at times.

Don’t take this to mean that all Aries men are violent. Many Aries men are perfectly capable of controlling their anger.

If an Aries man does have a violent temper, though, his anger can become explosive.

Even a quieter Aries man will still be hostile toward somebody who made him angry. He has a hard time pretending to be pleasant if he’s mad.

If you did something to anger him, you’re going to know right away. He won’t be polite and he won’t be able to pretend like nothing is wrong.

Restless

Some Aries men react to anger by becoming restless. They might not know how to channel their anger and this can cause them to become nervous.

An Aries man might pace around the house if he’s angry. He might talk quickly. He will have a lot of energy and be unable to properly release it.

He may seem irritable, even if he’s not angry with you. Talking to him might be difficult because he’ll be unable to sit still and just listen to you.

If his anger is making him restless, he needs to find a way to release that anger. He might need to vent about whatever is upsetting him. Going for a run or doing another physical activity might help as well.

Combative

Aries men are stubborn. If you two argue, he’s not going to want to back down.

If you’re in the middle of a fight with an angry Aries man, nothing is going to get through to him or get him to calm down until he’s done arguing.

Even if you tell him that he’s right, he might continue to argue! He might think that you’re just trying to placate him. He may accuse you of backtracking or of being insincere when you agree with him.

If he’s in a combative mood, he likely just needs to keep arguing until his anger has run its course. If you don’t want to continue arguing with him, he might just go pick a fight with somebody else.

Gets Even

When you’ve done something unforgivable and an Aries man is done with you, he’ll often satisfy his feelings of anger by getting even with you.

If you cheat on an Aries man, for example, he’s likely to go sleep with somebody else out of anger.

He might also “get even” in petty ways over minor disagreements. If you insulted his favorite television show, he might go on a public rant about your favorite show.

If you say something that hurts his feelings, he’ll say something back that he knows will upset you. Even if he doesn’t mean it, he’ll say things that he knows will hurt.

Aries men don’t always react to their anger in the most mature way. He might try to get revenge over minor things because he thinks it will make him feel better.

Might Withdraw

When an Aries man goes silent after an argument, that isn’t necessarily a bad sign. This is sometimes one of the more mature ways an Aries man deals with his anger.

Some Aries men are very self-aware. They know when they have a quick temper and they know how they tend to react to their anger.

An Aries man doesn’t necessarily want to be combative and picking a fight might be the last thing he wants to do. If he is angry and realizes he’s not handling it well, he might withdraw until he can calm down.

If an Aries man is ignoring you after an argument or after you’ve done something to upset him, it’s usually because he doesn’t want to lash out at you.

An Aries man’s silent treatment when he’s angry is often a sign he’s making an effort to calm down. He knows that if he talks to you right now, it’ll just end in another argument. He doesn’t want that.
